FREE SPEECH for the week of Sept. 24 – Sept. 30
Free Speechers, here's your "have at it" page again.
Post on topic or off topic or make up your own topic.
Here are some anonymous contributions that showed up in my email last week to get your pumps primed.
I have some advice on how to fix our messed up schools and budget deficit. Don't cut the teacher pay, but cut their extra supplement by 5%, start charging for school busses, collect all the money we are owed from the out of county kids who have been caught in our schools illegally and do NOT let them back in, quit letting kids go to different schools in the county with "special permission" as that is what messed up our schools to begin with, get rid of the senior tax exemption if they have grandkids living with them that are in our schools, and start charging the out of county teachers kids that go to our schools. Maybe even stop serving hot meals. Not popular decisions, but necessary to save our school system. There you have it, and the advice was free.
WOW,WOW,WOW. I just got put in the group that doesn't pay federal income tax. The group that Romney says he doesn"t worry about because we expect the gov't to take care us. My wife and I paid income tax until our retirement. Our retirement is not enough that we have to pay income tax. Mr. Romney, you really are out of touch with the lower middle class. I get nothing, natta, from the government; never have. Mr. Romney, you need to go into the cities and go to the poorer areas in the morning. You would see thousands of people going to work every morning on the subways and buses. Most of these folks go to jobs that do not pay a living wage. Mr. Romney, many of the folks clean homes, cars, offices, and have more than one generation living in a small apartment and they need government's help. These folks furnish the young to fight our wars. How much is it worth to you, Mr. Romney, to have the poor kids to die in war so that you and the higher class won't have to? You just lost our vote. — Senoia, Ga.
E-gad. Yet another, too lengthy, dissertation from that Mr Parker in Peachtee City. ENOUGH! Even the AJC limits letter, faxes and e-mails to so many words or less. His using The Citizen to hear himself talk (and voicing his political views among other things) is getting to be too much. Who made him king? I'm just about ready to just throw your paper in the trash when it shows up, because it is the same thing over and over (about the same stuff, from the same people). We are just WEARY of it. Must say, though, I love the editorial cartoons!
Thank you for the excellent article by Derek Wolter. It was superb. Kudos to you for giving us a good dose of thinking print.
Free Speech is free for another week — have at it!
You said sometime earlier:
Of course, this requires American leadership that will communicate a strategy concerning our determination to defend those individuals, including arming people, something the current regime is incapable of doing.
Obama and Kerry convincing many Arab countries and our western allies to join us in destroying this evil among us! No one wants more war and death - except possibly those who make money supplying the war machines on our globe. Where are our local leaders - CONGRESS? Home. With their rating - they have reason to worry about re-election. It was good to see the Congress support our leader and other world leaders in this endeavor to stop ISIS. This evil is not our problem alone,
What's the strategy? Not the goal DM, the strategy, what is it again? Just quote our Great Leader, let us all know.
Just showed up and "presented themselves" on the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. Guess their Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure weekend has come to an end.
Just a nice drive across I-90 to the Falls, that's all. They were about two weeks early for the truly gorgeous foliage they were expecting but, alas, the trip back to the homeland leaves Wednesday.
However, the new photos they took with their brand spankin' new iPhone 6's will show those back in the homeland what the word "green" looks like. And what a breathtaking country we truly have here, so peaceful and friendly and lush and civilized. Maybe they stopped at a truly American traditional Christian church service yesterday morning to see what we all are so passionate about in our very understated way. Maybe they had some apple cider and a just picked McIntosh apple at a fall country fair in the Berkshires.
Maybe they saw a country border crossing that is just breathtaking in it's beauty with 2 countries sharing a common philosophy that we can all get along on one continent without fear of death or mutilation or imprisonment for speaking our minds or professing our faith to whatever deity we choose.
I just hope Tom Bodett left the light on for them.
Did they take the ferry over to the Vineyard in hopes of catching up with Barry for a round of golf?
If they decided to take a tourista trip to Provincetown, they are seeing things the Quran has never, ever spoken about.
and has created quite a stir.
Anyone care to wonder how many illegals crossed the border today?
The answer is: No one can tell you. They can only tell you how many they caught NOT how many they missed!
Newest update. These 3 stooges are now in the custody of US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement as of this morning. They are being charged with administrative immigration violations and placed into removal proceedings. They were interviewed by Canadian authorities last night.
I guess Tom Bodett didn't leave the light on for them. I don't think the US govt. or the Canadian govt. will, either.
Oh, and just in case, knock 'em out and stick a GPS device inside them, before they head back to the homeland. I'm sure we have a satellite up there somewhere that can keep track of them.
A man scaled a fence at the White House...
and has created quite a stir.
Anyone care to wonder how many illegals crossed the border today?
What a great question!!!!!!
What we would be talking about tonight if that guy had explosives attached to his body. The fact that he could make it INside the WH is unconscionable . Someone near and dear to me used to work inside and outside 1600 Pa. Ave. There are so many layers of protection that failed it is unreal.
While I know this prezbo has, by far, damaged this country more than any other in history, I also realize it is a home and a symbol of our democracy. This is a massive failure of security and I am furious that this prezbo publicly came out in support of this utter failure of duty by those in charge of keeping OUR White House safe. This is the standard he sets for his security team, our military and all law enforcement under his control.
Did you see John Kerry answer NBC's Andrea Mitchell's question as he walked by her today about the porous border of Turkey and Syria and how it needs to be protected? Oh, yes, Kerry said, the Turkish govt. needs to get control of their border. Another look in the mirror and repeat what you just said moment for the BO administration. Talk about hypocritical!
and while we sit comfortably in front of our computers, the leaders of the globe have joined together and attacked ISIS! (This morning's news!) I think the global leaders are protecting us against the evil of ISIS. (if you have ever been to the White House, you realize that our President and his family were not in danger, and thankfully this incident will point out the weakness in protecting OUR White House - so that a more tragic incident will not occur.)
While we are attacking - ISIS still holds hostages. We don't have the entire picture of what we're dealing with - but although pundits try to play the blame game during this crisis - our military and the President seem to be working together with the rest of the world - especially the Arab world. Congress is at home . . .hmmmmmm.
Fence jumpers should be shot on sight, we are at war.
Can't judge people by the color of their skin - but I'm sure them New Englander's wouldn't stoop that low. Guess why they wouldn't come up missing at a base down in Dixie?
Does he leave the front door open when he leaves?
Did he buy a smartphone and hook it up to remotely unlock the front door as a joke on the Secret Service?
Yes, some more sad facts of the Obama economy.
Pabst Blue Ribbon brewski is now a Russian Company.
The largest pork company in the good old US of A, Smithfield (as in bacon) is now in the hands of the Chinese pork handlers.
Ragu and Bertolli are now in the hands of the Japanese.
Bringing home the bacon takes on new meaning.
Are more interested in 'green' than in the Red, White, and Blue.
What did you teach during your career?
Common sense based on research - not politics based on a limited ideology. :-)
For not answering, I didn't really expect you would.
You think it's only those "evil" businessman that are the only ones interested in green?
CalSTRS (California Teacher Retirement) has just over S109,393,000,000 (2013) invested in Global Equity (stocks). That's about 58% of their total investment pro folio. I can assure you those that manage this fund are doing everything they can ensure high returns. Oh, and those teacher members - both active and retired - are happy to see CalSTRS has picked stocks which offer good returns.
You're absolutely right! Their wise investments of the money we have earned in the US gives us money to spend in the US - and this money is taxed by the US!! Money working for the US!! Can't say that about all the businessmen who have taken their companies OUT OF THE US in order not to pay taxes!! (Cheney????) If the financial advisor you're using is not investing your funds wisely (and globally) so that you can continue to contribute to the US economy - maybe you should take another look at how those funds are being used. US educators (California teachers) do spend money in the US. How about the company you work for? :-)
Is this the future of the frontage and green along Robinson Road?

Notice of Public Hearing
The Mayor and City Council of Peachtree City will hold a public hearing on Thursday, September 18, 2014, at 7:00 P.M. It will be held in the City Hall Council Chambers at 151 Willowbend Road in Peachtree City. All interested parties are invited to attend and be heard.
The purpose of the hearing is to allow for public discussion of a proposed variance for the property located at 424 Robinson Road. The subject tract is 4.36 acres in size and is zoned R-43 Residential. Martin Dodson Homes desires to remove the existing home and then subdivide the overall tract into four one-acre lots to accommodate four custom homes.
The city s Thoroughfare Plan classifies Robinson Road as a community collector. Section 803(a)(6) of the city s Street Design and Construction Standards Ordinance stipulates No direct residential access (drive cuts) onto arterials and collector thoroughfares shall be allowed unless a variance is first granted by the city council of Peachtree City.
The Applicant is requesting a variance from Section 803(a)(6), specifically to permit the relocation of an existing driveway, which would become a shared driveway and provide access to two of the new residential lots, and to construct a new driveway onto Robinson Road to provide access to one of the new residential lots.
An existing shared driveway would provide access to the fourth residential lot. The existing driveway provides access to three residential lots behind the Hayes tract, and the Applicant desires to utilize this driveway to provide access to one of the new residential lots. In order to do so, the Applicant is requesting a variance from the definition of driveways as included within the Land Development Ordinance, which stipulates residential driveways shall not serve more than two single-family residential lots.
Information pertaining to this public hearing is available at City Hall, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.

Nothing about this variance discusses losing the greenery along Robinson.
They are simply asking for a variance for a shared driveway onto Robinson. This is because they prefer no driveways.
I don't have a problem with this as long as the driveway is wide enough for two vehicles to pass without someone having to stop on Robinson to make a right hand turn into the driveway.
There are already driveways that lead onto Robinson. I don't see an issue here.
Please enlighten me if I am wrong.
I'm worried about a precedence being set. All along Robinson are large pieces of property that could be subdivided with long, narrow lots opening to Robinson, with minimal impact on current residents homes compared to the generated income. Look at Camp Creek and the area south of Crosstown. The few homes that due have driveways onto Robinson have several acres with homes set far back from the street with room for large garages and turn arounds. The exception would be the old rental with a typical driveway that is to be demolished, which always has vehicles use the yard as a turn around and parking spot.
I see this as a possible upgrade. If the design has ample greenery out front and one wide driveway that would allow cars to enter and exit, I think this is something we can allow.
I drive Robinson every day. I'm more concerned about deer or bikers running into my path than anything else.
Seems reasonable to me...
If you look at the plots, each lot is 1 acre but very wide and narrow, another variance needed. Homes will need to be set very close to the street and the city is requiring at least 20" easement for the existent golf cart path. Who will pay for an acreage home site on a busy road? The current home is a rental that is empty most of the time. When there are tenants they seldom last more than a few months. Other homes on Robinson have long driveways with turn arounds and are set back from the road. What will be the parking options for residents visitors, UPS and mail trucks, etc...Hopefully not curb parking on Robinson. Robinson Road is heavy traffic in the morning and afternoons. It is a major link between south and north PTC. It's not uncommon to see 6-8 cars stopped behind the mail truck when servicing the few homes that already have street driveways near Spear. Homes that constantly go on the market without luck, and there are set far back from the street. How will the demolition and construction of four new homes and a road effect travel? It's a scrap piece of property left over from the original property owners(prior to Robinson Road being paved) who built Avalon Park. Why would the city give all these variances for an undesirable piece of property?
I have not viewed the site plan. 4.36 acres split up 4 ways equals more than acre each to me...maybe I need to take a look at it to see how it is laid out.
IF you owned the property, how would you feel about the zoning? Or do you think the City would be better off to leave that old house there?
I think they must have felt pretty good about the variances being approved or they would not have closed on said parcel. If there are already Acre or so lots on Robinson, this is pretty much a slam dunk. I do not see 2-3 more driveways being a huge issue myself.
I realize that opinions vary, let them hear your issues.
does not mean someone will buy it. Printed findings from the city staff presented at the July 10, 2014 city council meeting. "A typical lot within the R43 zoning district measures 150 wide by 290 in depth. Because of the configuration of the subject tract, the proposed lots would measure approximately 290 wide and 140 in depth. The configuration of the overall tract would create four narrow, but wide lots which is atypical of lots built in similarly zoned neighborhoods."
not 20"
Since the day is almost over, I thought I would wish everyone a Happy Constitution Day, with this recommendation. Here's a book that everyone should read.
I go to Willies near the airport from time to time, long lines at lunch but they move you in and out quickly, the place is cleans and the quality and price were good
A developer is seeking a variance to the city ordinance regarding residential driveway access directly on Robinson Road between Windgate Road and Whitfield Run. Traffic runs fast on Robinson Road to have cars backing out onto the street. A special meeting is being held Sept, 18 for public discussion of the matter.

The ruse he is putting on says he will be here to talk at the CDC about ebola.
The real reason he is here is to campaign for Nunn and Carter. He will be teaching the corrupt community organizers (of which he is king) of metro Atlanta how to phony up the ballot boxes with fraudulent voter forms from people who don't exist. You remember, a new ACORN. This time it's called The New Georgia Project. Housed out of a hotel in the city. Even Coweta County has received these phony voter registrations.
I bet our very own Board of Elections has been dealing with them. Seems these phony registration forms are the responsibility of each county elections office to verify authenticity. So, The New Georgia Project has been swamping county elections offices with them, and if the elections office does not have the staff or the where with all to research the validity, viola, a Nunn new voter on the rolls.
Nunn is a big deal for Barry. Moochelle met with her last week, then Bill Clinton met with her and now Barry. The machine is in overdrive. Barry is at a fundraiser thrown tonight in DC by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee..lining up some cash for Nunn and some more DC dirty political ads.
Of course, this is the new, focused prezbo. He said he is actually going to work all week and not play golf.
Your vision got clouded by the smoke--real reason is to campaign for Carter and Martin-Nunn Political gain is always at the forefront with him and OH but wait--tfc problems? Hey, they're just citizens who don't understand the importance of what I'm here for! Just another example of his "me and the Dem Candidates first" thought process.
While at the CDC, he will announce 763 million US tax dollars to fight ebola....in another country...Africa. For six months. Makes you wonder if it originated anywhere else in the world..how much he would offer up...
That's part of the smoke--that announcement (and I think it's a good thing) could be made anywhere--and did you know that support will include lots of military personnel?
enough that so many came home maimed in body and spirit fighting for a lost cause, now we will send them where ebola is rampant. I do not know how in good conscience we can send our young people there when the diagnosis seems to be certain death--or will they be used as guinea pigs to test the new antidotes? On top of that we will be sending millions of dollars that have been borrowed to yet another country. So who is there who will come to our rescue when we are attacked--who's troops will fight for our freedom, who's coffers will be emptied to re-build our country? I hope the day never comes when we will have to find out but we will be heading in that direction if we continue to spread ourselves so thin for every other country while neglecting our own borders and needs at home. As a strong, healthy country we can help others; depleted, with a tired, sick, understaffed military and old, worn-out infrastructure and constituency we can be of no help to ourselves much less others. Let's wake up to where we are heading.
I agree. It is insane to send them over there. They are being put in harm's way, and so will we if they bring the virus home. Obama is really doing a stupid thing.
that Ebola has not been found in any country south of our border.
Oh, please, let's not have any boots on the ground...ANYwhere! (sarcasm noted)
Well, forget the smoke. Maybe Barry looked in the mirror and saw...bioterrorism? If we think the Middle East is a cesspool of terror, I shudder to think of what we are getting into in Africa.
If you have the time, take 24 minutes to listen to and see The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial video below.
Scroll down the page to the black box which has the video in it. It is not flashy or fast, just paints a picture.
For survivors and families, thirteen years later.
makes you more than proud to be an American. It is so sad to see the agony some of those firefighters are living now due to what happened to them back then. We owe them everything we have to make their lives and those of their families as pain and worry free as possible. We may not forget but we push it to the back of our minds and we need to keep it close so we never forget. God Bless and keep our country free.
Thanks for posting.
"We shall never forget."
Did you see it? iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus Apple Pay. Apple Watch...wow!
at which store are you going to spend the night, in some long line, to get your very own Apple thingy??
I have the I phone 4 (yes, that old antiquated thang) and will wait a couple of months...and will get me a 6, maybe a plus. I really like that Apple Pay... Plastic is sooo obsolete...and you, Cy? You gonna take a bite?
In a few years when my 5S gets a little cranky.
After checking this out, I can get a free Phone 6..16GB. The trade in-trade up program that Verizon has on my iPhone 4 is a $200. credit that I can apply to my bill, the cost of the 6 is $199. Presto, free phone. Still have some more checking out to do, but looks good so far.
Are you sure this is not one of those flim-flam "guvment" program thingies?? You might not qualify.
It does sound like a deal.
Nice sh-ittie....
I get what you are saying. No g-deal here, though. Just the most successful company ever knowing where to hand out the freebie...so they can get more from you on the back side. Pure, unadulterated capitalism.
Thanks to my fifty buck investment years ago for my Otterbox cover, my 4 is in pristine condition.
My bro works for the company that is doing the logistics and reverse logistics of this mammoth trade in and sale for AT&T and Apple. They had to open at least one additional warehouse workplace to handle it. He has been incommunicado for months and now I know why.
add to your collection a nifty Apple Watch to go with your 5S. Together (need to keep the 5S for the watch to work) you could strap it on and go. And record 12 hours of your movements, heartrate and just about every bodily function. You even can send a red heart symbol to your lover with your actual recorded heartbeat. For a paltry $399 for the starter model. If you want the 18 karat gold model, well, better be ready to fork it over, the price isn't even out there yet. Better have a heart monitor on when you see that. Above my pay level, for sure. And my need level, too.
on 54 W next to Zoes Kitchen. Just what we need over there, another Mexican chain restaurant. Zzzzzz....
Just not enough to go to that part of town on a Friday night until the traffic gets better. But that's me. I'll stick to the good service at El Ranchero.
Willys is bound to get traffic from those tired commuters that get stuck at the lights and crave a burrito to go.
Taco's too....
be sure to become a Burritohead so you don't miss one.
Homer Simpson said it best…
was indeed a servant to the Lord, he will be missed by all that had the pleasure to meet him and know of his loving ways.
"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them." - Hebrews 6:10

My prayers are with his family at this sad departing.
I remember years ago, shopping at Greenbrier Mall (when it was safe and nice) on the day the first Chic-Fil-A opened. They had employees standing at the front of the store handing out samples and coupons. Before that he had the Dwarf House near the airport. Look what it has grown to become.
Mr. Truett has helped many young people get an education and has done many wonderful things for the area, especially where needy young people are concerned. It is a world of difference to go into a Chic-Fil-A as opposed to the other fast food places. His employees are always neat, always greet you politely with a smile, and act as if they care that you are there. Not so at the other places. I am sure his son will carry on his legacy. He will be missed.

If you lost a US Navy challenge coin at Battery Way Park over the weekend, I will be dropping it off at the PTC City Hall office sometime on Tuesday.
Built right up the hill from the Parkway....someone tell me this is not the final exterior finish on this building. No way a regular property owner in that area of town could get an approval for such an ugly building. It doesn't fit at all. What was the School Board thinking? Hideous is being kind to this building in that spot.
What gives?
Could be a coupla mraps are going to be moved in there.
Got my letter in the mail the other day. 3rd time in 6 or 7 years. Is that normal? Wondering if Sheila:
A. Is punishing me for not voting for hubby
B. this is normal
C. She's got a crush on me?
Moved out here in 1987 and was first called in 2012 and again earlier this year.
My guess....d) all of the above
For me, once in 20 years. Lucky you.
I was released the first day. Hoping for the same.
I will say, Mrs. Studdard ran a good ship and had a great personality.
An electrical transformer at the back parking lot entrance to city hall just blew up and is on fire. georgia Power is on the way. Do NOT come down, PD has iWillowbend blocked off. Fried telephone pole above it.
It is NOT close to the building and City Hall is fine .
from the endless political dialog aka the conga line.
If you are an unfortunate owner of a GM vehicle go to the website below and check to see if you car is affected with the unintended ignition key rotation problem. Be safe and take a look.
Additional info:
Russia retaliates with bans on food imports from EU, U.S.
Farmers in Eastern Europe will be most affected, this is another fine mess our brilliant President has gotten us into.
Trade wars, especially surrounding food only play into the hands of dictators that want more power from a dependent population.
It can all end poorly for the world when the actual shooting breaks out.
At some point we need to decide based on the facts what our energy policy will be in the West, we can rely on the Mid-East and Russia or we can be self reliant. Let's not confuse the "Green" movement with the hydrocarbon reality and a road to world peace. Our need for oil is funding our enemies, let's snap out of it. Start drilling and building our own domestic refineries if we don't want to be blackmailed by tin star second rate dictators. Let them go deal with their domestic issues without blaming us for all their problems. Russia is in trouble, so is the Middle East our only interest in them is oil, let's cut it off.

Howie Carr from the Boston Herald strikes again. I mean, really, can we take another 824 days of this?
Putin has 20 thousand or more troops on the border ready to invade Ukraine.
Netenyahu has just flattened terrorists on Israel's border in less than 30 days.
And we have...John Kerry.
What's going on with the tree clearing behind the shopping center?
Where you been? Kroger is doing a 43,000 sq. ft. expansion. They have taken over the shops on either end of their building and will expand on both ends upward and back into the woods. The back driveway will be just about along the cart path back there in a few areas when done in the fall of 2015. Here is some of it below:
They are building a new path entrance point to the shopping center down closer to Crosstown Grille that will stay in place during construction and after, since the one next to El Ranchero is closed due to construction. The original path will reopen after construction again, too.
Thanks for the info. I'd forgotten about the expansion since it was announced so long ago. I didn't realize they were expanding rearward as well as to both sides, until I re-read the original article. Looking forward to a bigger, better (hopefully) store...
Let me correct one thing I said in my previous post to you. I went by there tonight and the path entrance is still open. It will be closed soon and a new path will be built closer to Crosstown Grille in it's place. I sure am glad I'm not the Kroger tractor trailer delivery guy.
Am I the only one seeing the very obvious political motive behind the bruhaha being made about these 2 patients? The timing of it all? Today, we have a 12 noon touch down at Dobbins, just in time for the lunch hour news cycle. Coincidence? I think not. We have 3 black SUV's lined up to escort the ambulance, in addition to law enforcement and news crews lining the route and CNN headquarters right nearby. Coincidence? I think not.
All in time for Barry's African summit today with a state dinner tonight. All in time for Barry to hold the largest international gathering in DC ever. Other political and business leaders from Africa have been invited. A slew of street closures are planned for downtown DC in the next 3 days. The Office of Personnel Management has advised that federal employees work from home.
Funny, too, how the CDC is being given all this positive press time, in light of 2 very unprofessional actions by their employees in the last few months. Coincidence? I think not.
Where is the focus on these 2 humble and giving medical professionals? Give them and their families their privacy as they come home to heal.
Barry's virus, use it for all the political gain you can while an election is coming up. Meanwhile, a US General is killed in Afghanistan. How much time will the media devote to that travesty in the next 3 days? This is made public by the Pentagon at the same time as the Ebola doctor is being trailed by press to the hospital? Coincidence? I think not.
Think they're FBI--why would they be involved?
Because they have nothing better to do under this administration???

There are countries in the Middle East and elsewhere that have citizens willing to die for their freedom and live in peace, if we're smart will send them all the equipment and training necessary to achieve this.
Of course, this requires American leadership that will communicate a strategy concerning our determination to defend those individuals, including arming people, something the current regime is incapable of doing.
Classic Netanyahu! And did you see the lick Charles Krauthammer put on Kerry in today's AJC? Vintage Charles--gotta love it!

Japanese developers hoping to revive the domestic industry should be embracing Project Natal instead of looking to create the next Call Of Duty or Halo, according to Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg.
"Japan is a very important market for the gaming industry and home to some of the video game industry's leading innovators," the Xbox director of product management told Destructoid. "I have spent a lot of time in Japan in the ten years I have been on the Xbox business and I love the country, the people and their ability to create new experiences that could only come from Japan.
"The reality of the Japanese gaming market is that it is not the size it once was and at the same time we have seen gaming become the largest form of entertainment around the world. However," he added, "I don't think this means that Japanese creators should be trying to come up with the next Halo or Call Of Duty. I think there are ways to leverage their creativity with new tools like Project Natal."
Japanese games revenues fell 6.9 per cent last year and Capcom's Keiji Inafune said at the Tokyo Game Show that "Japan is over". Not so, according to Greenberg.
"... All of the leading Japanese publishers have announced that they are actively working on games for Project Natal and I can't wait to see these come to life. I truly believe the future is bright for Japanese creators and publishers."

In what will surely be a crushing blow to at least four, maybe five gamers across the globe, Sony has announced that it is ending support for its branded PlayStation Mobile game store and platform. If you'll recall, that's the app and control setup that is (or was) exclusive to Xperia phones and tablets, plus a few select models from HTC and Sharp. In a statement posted to the Japanese PlayStation website, the company said that devices running versions of Android past 4.4.3 would not be supported.
When Sony debuted the Live on YouTube app last month, we wondered if compatibility would extend backwards to some other high-end Sony phones. The time is now, Sony smartphone owners... at least if you own one of three very specific models. Last year's flagship the Xperia Z1, its slightly smaller brother the Xperia Z1 Compact, and the high-powered Xperia ZL2 (which is only available in some Asian markets at the moment), all have access to the app as of now.
Perhaps you don't remember the Xperia L – this 2013 handset never made much of a splash in the US. However, it's proven a popular budget device internationally. It probably won't be seeing a ton of update love through official channels, but at least you'll have CyanogenMod. The first nightly build is available for the Xperia L right now.
Sony has announced an impending software update for the Xperia T2 Ultra and the T2 Ultra Dual that will deliver Android 4.4 to both devices. The update contains the changes introduced by KitKat, but it also tosses in a number of Sony-exclusive touches.
Sony's designers have tweaked the status bar and quick settings to make them easier on the eyes, and they've tossed in new animations at launch and on the homescreen that may look familiar to PlayStation 4 owners.
Google officially pulled the Xperia Z Ultra GPE from the Play Store a few days ago, but it looks like stock wasn't completely gone. The device has shown up on Expansys USA for just $349.99. That's $100 less than Google's last price for it. We don't know how long it's going to last, but Expansys says it has more then 100 in stock right now.
Tablets that aren't iPads don't sell well on US carriers, probably because no one is all that keen on paying an extra monthly fee in order to use them and/or sharing a limited amount of data. (3G and LTE tablets are much more popular overseas.) So there's really no point in pre-ordering a tablet from a carrier, unless you absolutely have to have it on day one. If that's the case for the Xperia Z2 Tablet, let your fingers do the walking over to Verizon's website.
Sony is boasting its new Xperia C3 as the best smartphone for taking selfies thanks to its wide-angle 5MP front-facing "PROselfie" camera, soft LED flash, and a set of quirky apps. Hey, scoff all you want, but this is a big deal. Selfie is a real word now, and if I have to write about the subject seriously, the least you can do is read this with a straight face.
Now where was I?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act has a lot of issues, and one of them is the almost instantaneous way in which content can be removed from the web if a copyright holder thinks it's in violation - it's a pretty classic example of "guilty until proven innocent." That double-edged sword is swinging back at Qualcomm today: the company issued an apology to developers after forcing popular code repository GitHub to remove over 100 repos for violation of copyright.
Amazon's Gold Box deals always tend to gravitate back to flash memory storage every few weeks. Today is another iteration with discounts on many Sony SD cards, USB drives, and more interestingly for mobile users, microSD cards and microUSB OTG flash drives.
If your phone has a microSD slot and you want to add extra storage for your media files, you may want to pick up the 64GB microSD Class 10 card for $33 instead of $115.

My current 'solar flare' style nova party (yes I built an entire 5-man party), is listed in the Iajitsu Guide:
On round 1, assuming your opponent is within 50 squares of you (he can be flying or around corners as well, as long as you can percieve him; you have characters with perception optimization, although not crazy high):
The party will all act at init 55+ (which is faster than every published monster).
The party is level 24.
The party damage is based around fighting level 35 monsters (yes this is against monsters 11 levels higher than the party).
The party does not use any daily powers; it does use action points, but it has enough ways to generate action points that it can do this for 5 encounters per day, which I consider to be enough for 'every' encounter per day.
The party does ~2900 damage on round one, before any of team monster can act. This is enough to kill Tiamat + 2 Elite level 35 bodyguards. The party uses high knowledge checks to see which monsters have powerful immediate abilities (that have enough range to hit the party, given the party can do all this from 50 squares away); if such abilities are present the party uses dailies that daze or stun (even on a miss) in order to prevent the monsters from being able to act.
You can achieve higher numbers by using melee characters, but your conditions for what you can do it against drop dramatically. You can also use infinite damage loops to deal, well, infinite damage. You could also use the Blender Mark 2 or some variant to do far greater damage. However, my party has no combo's that are easily subject to house rules (no zones that can be houseruled to damage 1/turn, etc), and it has the fewest conditions on when it can deal it's damage.
As a note, I've built a level 30 character (with no back-up support) who can dish out 1800 damage every encounter on his solar flare; and I've seen others build them up to ~2500 damage or so. At these numbers though you start seeing diminishing returns, as almost no monsters in the game have that many hp anyway, and in fact, most encounters don't have that many hp, so (in epic) the contest simply isn't that interesting (for me) given the number of ways there are to deal that much damage. So with these characters it seems the contest turns to how you can do that much damage, and yet still add something else signficant to the party (mass control, mass marking, mass healing, extreme survivability, etc).

Sequester of foolsFebruary 23,2013Theyre baaack! Just about two years ago, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, the co-chairmen of the late unlamented debt commission, warned us to expect a terrible fiscal crisis within, um, two years unless we adopted their plan. The crisis hasnt materialized, but theyre nonetheless back with a new version. And, in case youre interested, after last years election in which American voters made it clear that they want to preserve the social safety net while raising taxes on the rich the famous fomenters of fiscal fear have moved to the right, calling for even less revenue and even more spending cuts.
But you arent interested, are you? Almost nobody is. Bowles and Simpson had their moment the annus horribilis of 2011, when Washington was in thrall to deficit scolds insisting that, in the face of record-high long-term unemployment and record-low borrowing costs, we forget about jobs and concentrate exclusively on a grand bargain that would supposedly (not actually) settle budget disputes forever after.
That moment has now passed; even Bowles concedes that the search for a grand bargain is on life support. Lets convene a death panel! But the legacy of that year of living foolishly lives on, in the form of the sequester, one of the worst policy ideas in our nations history.
Heres how it happened: Republicans engaged in unprecedented hostage-taking, threatening to push America into default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless President Barack Obama agreed to a grand bargain on their terms. Obama, alas, didnt stand firm; instead, he tried to buy time. And, somehow, both sides decided that the way to buy time was to create a fiscal doomsday machine that would inflict gratuitous damage on the nation through spending cuts unless a grand bargain was reached. Sure enough, there is no bargain, and the doomsday machine will go off at the end of next week.
Theres a silly debate under way about who bears responsibility for the sequester, which almost everyone now agrees was a really bad idea. The truth is that Republicans and Democrats alike signed on to this idea. But thats water under the bridge. The question we should be asking is who has a better plan for dealing with the aftermath of that shared mistake.
The right policy would be to forget about the whole thing. America doesnt face a deficit crisis, nor will it face such a crisis anytime soon. Meanwhile, we have a weak economy that is recovering far too slowly from the recession that began in 2007. And, as Janet Yellen, the vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, recently emphasized, one main reason for the sluggish recovery is that government spending has been far weaker in this business cycle than in the past. We should be spending more, not less, until were close to full employment; the sequester is exactly what the doctor didnt order.
Unfortunately, neither party is proposing that we just call the whole thing off. But the proposal from Senate Democrats at least moves in the right direction, replacing the most destructive spending cuts those that fall on the most vulnerable members of our society with tax increases on the wealthy, and delaying austerity in a way that would protect the economy.
House Republicans, on the other hand, want to take everything thats bad about the sequester and make it worse: canceling cuts in the defense budget, which actually does contain a lot of waste and fraud, and replacing them with severe cuts in aid to Americas neediest. This would hit the nation with a double whammy, reducing growth while increasing injustice.
As always, many pundits want to portray the deadlock over the sequester as a situation in which both sides are at fault, and in which both should give ground. But theres really no symmetry here. A middle-of-the-road solution would presumably involve a mix of spending cuts and tax increases; well, thats what Democrats are proposing, while Republicans are adamant that it should be cuts only. And given that the proposed Republican cuts would be even worse than those set to happen under the sequester, its hard to see why Democrats should negotiate at all, as opposed to just letting the sequester happen.
So here we go. The good news is that compared with our last two self-inflicted crises, the sequester is relatively small potatoes. A failure to raise the debt ceiling would have threatened chaos in world financial markets; failure to reach a deal on the so-called fiscal cliff would have led to so much sudden austerity that we might well have plunged back into recession. The sequester, by contrast, will probably cost only around 700,000 jobs.
But the looming mess remains a monument to the power of truly bad ideas ideas that the entire Washington establishment was somehow convinced represented deep wisdom.

I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at MongoDB in October 2014.Interview Details
Applied through the website. The recruiter sets up a time to call you and speak with you. If you pass this screening, you get a Technical phone interview with a very senior member of the Team. The interview went well I thought, since the interviewer really liked my answer. However, I got an email that they decided to move on. I was hoping to get a call for another round of phone interview but I could not get through to the next round. Both the interviewers who spoke to me were extremely nice. It would have been my dream company to work for with all the smart people who work there. The next generation Big data company.Interview Questions

Aww anon! Don't beat yourself up over it! Everyone makes mistakes, and I mean you've learned from it, so it's all good. <3

His ability to reach things on high shelves and lift me above his head if he ever wanted to, are more of a bonus.

Carrboro, NC, 27510
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
Lousy with Sylvianbriar was created with a new songwriting approach, a different recording method, and a fresh group of musicians. Seeking creative inspiration, Kevin Barnes re-located to San Francisco where he spent days soaking in the strange surroundings and channeling the city's energy into his writing. After a very prolific period there, he returned to Athens, GA, and assembled the cast of musicians to begin the sessions.
Barnes eschewed computer recording -- with its pitch correction, limitless effects plug-ins and editing possibilities -- and instead, with the help of engineer Drew Vandenberg (Deerhunter, Toro y Moi), he recorded Lousy with Sylvianbriar in his home studio on a 24-track tape machine. With no computer tricks to fall back on, the band -- Kevin Barnes (guitars, bass, vocals), Rebecca Cash (vocals), Clayton Rychlik (drums ,vocals), Jojo Glidewell (keys), Bob Parins (pedal steel, bass), and Bennet Lewis (guitars, mandolin) -- could only get out of the recordings what they put into them. Most of the tracking was recorded live with the band in the same room together. They worked quickly, with the band members composing their parts on the fly and with little second-guessing. The album was recorded in just three weeks.
"I knew I wanted the process to be more in line with the way people used to make albums in the late 60s and early 70s," reveals Barnes. "I wanted to work fast and to maintain a high level of spontaneity and immediacy. I wanted the songs to be more lyric-driven, and for the instrumental arrangements to be understated and uncluttered."
Opening track and lead single "Fugitive Air" feels like a Stones-y anthem, with sparks of Philip K. Dick's psychedelic prose, Ralph Bakshi's cartoon violence, and William S. Burroughs' hyper-paranoia.
Vocalist Rebecca Cash makes several appearances on the album, taking the lead on the plaintive "Raindrop in My Skull," where her and Barnes share a Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris-inspired duet.
Like the classic albums that inspired it, this is an album to be explored, to be lived with, to be listened to in happiness and in darkness, to be dissolved into. To be played very loudly at parties and with eyes closed, in headphones, alone. It should become dog-eared and dirty with use and it should lessen the blow of our enemies, in all their forms.
